The sirens of two fire engines have a frequency of 600 Hz each . A man hears the sirens from two engines, one approaching him with a velocity of `36km//h` and the other going away from him at a speed of `54km//h`. What is the difference in frequencies of sound heard ? Take velocity of sound in air `=340m//s`.
